Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU), Hyderabad

Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU) at Banjara Hills is a specialist renal-sciences hospital in Somajiguda, Hyderabad. AINU was established in 2013 and has expanded to several locations in Hyderabad and other Indian cities. The Banjara Hills hospital focuses on kidney and urinary-tract care rather than broad general hospital medicine. It is NABH accredited and serves as a main Hyderabad centre within the AINU network.

Clinical services include urology, nephrology and kidney transplantation, uro-oncology, robotic surgery, reconstructive urology, female urology, paediatric urology and andrology. Stone treatment at this branch includes RIRS, ESWL, mini-PCNL and ultra-mini PCNL. Banjara Hills urologists also describe TURP, URS, TURBT, laser stone procedures and laparoscopic or robotic operations for kidney, prostate and bladder disease. Paediatric urology covers conditions such as hypospadias and ureteric or bladder abnormalities.

Renal care includes haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration and peritoneal dialysis. Nephrologists and transplant physicians manage chronic kidney disease, dialysis access, renal transplantation and follow-up after transplantation. Branch specialists also perform procedures such as robotic radical prostatectomy, partial or radical nephrectomy, radical cystectomy, pyeloplasty and ureteric reimplantation. This combination allows nephrology and urology teams to manage medical kidney disease and surgical urinary-tract problems within the same specialist setting.

Patients may find AINU Banjara Hills relevant for chronic or end-stage kidney disease, dialysis, kidney transplantation, kidney or ureteric stones, enlarged prostate, urinary obstruction, urological cancers, male infertility and congenital paediatric urology conditions. The hospital is also relevant when minimally invasive endourology, laparoscopy or robotic urological surgery is being considered, especially when coordinated nephrology and urology input is needed.
